I really couldn't find any threads where this has been talked about.....what is the consensus when it comes to replacement gaskets? Stick with H-D or go aftermarket? if aftermarket, what brands/suppliers are recommended? I'm talking about outer/inner primary cover, transmission, timing cover, rockers, etc.

its actually a good question. ...
i have no idea, and i know in '07 '08 there was lots of problems with head and base gaskets that has seemingly gone away. no real idea what changed
-
You’ll probably get lots of opinions (Cometic and S&S seem to be very popular) but I have always stuck with H-D gaskets, mainly due to the convenience of having a dealership near my work, and I have never had any problems.
-
We always use Cometic.
-
FWIW. The Cometic water cooled head gaskets can also be used on the NON-WATERCOOLED engines with no problems.

Any thoughts on James gaskets?
Also, anyone have any inside track on who is the gasket supplier to H-D?
-
We use Cometic and sometimes James. Only Harley gasket used is upper and lower rocker box gaskets.
-
I always use either Harley or Cometic.
James is good also.

Agree. I've had cometic rocker cover gaskets not work so well. harley only for the rockers. I don't use James much. Cometic or Harley for me. For head gaskets Cometic MLS.

You end up using a mix of everything if you do enough engine combinations
Cyco head gaskets get mixed in often
